The Finnish technology industries are facing a situation where the need for new labour force by 2021 is estimated at over 53.000. Lack of skilled labour in the field has been recognised nationwide. Now is the time to do something about it.
High competence in development of technologies and quality of production in Finland are the key factors in facilitating competitive manufacturing also in Finland. Increasing the level of automation, enhancing competences and production methods by introduction of novel digital solutions are crucial in tackling the need for labour force in the industry and strengthening competitiveness
Changes in activities caused by technologies must be taken into account both in product development, production planning and manufacturing. It is important to utilize the full potential of advanced technologies, supported by internal activities of the company. The process increases productivity, ensures improved competitiveness and facilitates expansion of business both nationally and in global markets.
The impetus behind Savonia’s Technological Changes in Welding Industries Project HitTek was the increase in the rate of technological development and changes. HitTek project boosts competitiveness of businesses by introducing new technologies and solutions.
